Abstract
Projects have
a dismal success rates, but PMs can dramatically increase their batting
average by applying Strategic Project Management principles. This stimulating
workshop introduces the Logical Framework Approach, which combines a step-by-step
process with an integrated thinking tool that offers a robust strategic road-map
for designing projects, programs, and action initiatives of all types.
Proven in diverse settings, this emerging best practice approach is ideal
for rapidly building consensus at the “fuzzy front end” and offers unique
benefits during the PMBOK Planning and Initiation stages.
The Logical Framework Approach closes the gap between Strategic Planning
and Project Management. You'll learn how to formulate a “strategic hypothesis”
which considers all the key elements needed for success, including those
often overlooked. You’ll discover ways to plan projects that logically link
project deliverables to strategic intent using principles drawn from the
scientific method.
You’ll learn how to use the “LogFrame” to simultaneously create actionable
plans while building strong project teams. During this interactive session,
you’ll become skilled in applying the core concepts, and leave with a practical
strategic approach that will give you the edge in delivering tangible business
results
